In this episode, I sat down with Greg Berney. Greg went from a full-time career in healthcare administration to building a multi-million dollar real estate investment business in just a few years.
He didn’t just create income. He built personal freedom.
As the 2023 Franchisee of the Year at Joe Homebuyer Triad Group, Greg led his company to nearly two million dollars in revenue while staying deeply committed to his family and buildin...
In this episode, I sat down with someone who’s built a wildly successful brand by doing things on her own terms, Jamie Thurber.
Jamie is a business and lifestyle coach who’s known for cutting through the noise with her no-BS approach to execution, energy management, and alignment. She’s been helping entrepreneurs and high performers redefine what success looks like, not based on hustle and burnout, but on clarity, intention, and doi...
In this episode, I got to sit down with someone who’s changing the way people think about healthcare, performance, and long-term pain relief—Dr. Ian McIntosh.
Ian is a chiropractor, rehab specialist, and founder of Health & Performance Center, and what he’s built is completely different from the traditional crack-you-and-send-you-on-your-way model. His approach blends chiropractic care, strength training, and modern rehab techni...
In this episode of the Builders of Authority podcast, I got to sit down with someone I’ve looked forward to connecting with for a while, Bob Houchin. If you're in or around the home services space, there’s a good chance you’ve heard his name before.
Bob’s the host of The Successful Contractor podcast and has been in the industry for over two decades. He’s interviewed more top-performing contractors and private equity power play...
In over 175 episodes since launching this podcast, I’ve never had a repeat guest, until now.
I’m excited to welcome back David Marks.
David and I met in 2020, when I created a local STL Facebook group to support businesses during Covid — while I was still in medical device sales. He was one of the first people I interviewed. That video is still floating around YouTube, and it’s wild to see how far we’ve come.
Since then, he’s supporte...
A few weeks ago I got a comment on Facebook from someone saying that we should connect.
I can’t even remember the context.
Usually I’m skeptical with those types of things, but I went and looked at his profile and saw a lot of mutual connections.
Then we both realized that we are local to the St. Louis area.
After a few messages back and forth hearing about his story, I said that’s a guy I want on my podcast.
So here we are.
Jason ...
We’re live here at Adventure Unknown in Fenton, MO.
Today we are joined by the man himself, the person who is the genius responsible for making AU a reality.
I’m joined by Scott Schuessler.
Scott is also a fellow Vianney Griffin graduate, and someone that loves business, networking, and of course travel.
Scott’s Bio:
Scott Schuessler is a serial entrepreneur and visionary community builder with a doctorate in physical therapy. After ...
Due to a last minute cancellation, I ended up doing a solo episode this week.
I wasn’t prepared for this, so I decided to just talk about what first came to my mind.
And that was how personal branding can help you attract top talent.
Everything thinks personal branding is about getting more clients (and it is), but it’s also so much more than that.
Over the last 90 days we have gone from 7 employees to over 20, and many of them were...
We are coming to you live from Adventure Unknown here in Fenton, MO.
Today I’m joined by our new Operations Manager, Jessica Cochran.
Jessica and I have known each other for a few years, belong to the same parish of SMMA, and have a lot of mutual connections.
A little over a month ago she posted about wanting to find a new role, and I immediately reached out to her.
We had a conversation at the office and it seemed like a great fit r...
I started my first official business when I was 27. It was a side hustle in the digital marketing space.
I went full-time at 28 back in 2020.
I always wonder what life and business would have been like if I started earlier.
Today’s guest is someone that’s done just that.
He’s someone who I highly respect for his hustle and work ethic at such a young age.
I’ve had the opportunity to coach and mentor him to a certain degree both with ...
Today I’m joined by fellow AU member, Zach Fagas.
Zach and I actually went to grade school together. I was a year older.
We have been connected online probably since Facebook was even a thing.
It wasn’t until a few years ago that we started interacting and having conversations.
About a year ago I was actually on his podcast (also hosted here at AU), called the Zach & Pat Show.
Zach is a realtor, podcaster, content creator, husb...
I’ll start by saying that I strongly dislike financials, accounting, taxes, etc.
Today’s guest is truly an authority and subject matter expert in this space.
He and I connected online over a year ago.
Then he came to our 2nd BOA event last June.
Since then we have had the opportunity to get to know each other even better, and we are in the process of launching his new website.
He is someone that loves what he does, and is someone I...
One of my favorite FB groups is Blue Collar Millionaire.
If you’re a home services company or contractor and you’re not in the group, go join it right now.
I’ve been in the group for almost 2 years now, and met some incredible people along the way.
Today I’ll be interviewing one of those individuals.
While this will actually be the first time talking, I feel like I’ve known this person for awhile by just following his content and s...
Being a member up here at Adventure Unknown has given me the opportunity to meet some incredible people. If you’re here in St. Louis and haven’t come up to visit, let’s get you up here ASAP.
Today’s guest is someone I met here a few months ago.
Over the last few months we have gotten the opportunity to chat a lot about business and life.
A lot of people tell me that I have a lot going on, and that I’m always busy.
When I meet someo...
Description:
I’ve been investing in masterminds and self development since 2020.
Along the way I’ve met some amazing people.
It’s even better when you meet those people and they are local to you.
Today I’m joined by Dr. Danny Roach of Cornerstone Chiropractic of Warrenton.
A few years ago we got connected through the Arete Syndicate, and ended up grabbing dinner.
Since then it’s amazing watching his growth and cheering him on.
Da...
We are live here from Adventure Unknown in Fenton, MO thanks to the amazing folks at Punchline Productions.
Today I’m joined by someone I met through being a member here at AU.
We had been meaning to meet up for awhile after I joined in August, and the timing never worked.
At the AU Christmas Party, we got the chance to connect, sing some karaoke and talk about business.
Then we went to a Blues game thanks to one of his vendors, and...
Welcome back, everyone!
Due to a guest cancellation, I’ve decided to role with a solo episode.
The timing is great, because we just ended an incredible Q1.
I’m making a YouTube video about the quarter itself right now.
But today, I want to dive into what I’ve learned over the last 6 months since re-launching my digital marketing agency.
6 Lessons is what I’ll call it.
1. Always do the right thing
2. Never lose sight of your cus...
Today’s episode is with someone who is a client of our digital marketing agency, and has been since October.
And the way that it all came about was the perfect storm of personal branding gone right.
Nearly a year prior I added him on Facebook, and I didn’t cold DM or pitch him ever. I simply said if he ever needed help with digital marketing to let me know.
He reached out, and we had a conversation.
It started with Facebook Ads, an...
Today I’m joined by someone that I met over 3 years ago. We connected on LinkedIn and ended up grabbing coffee a few different times.
He & I talked a lot about life and business and realized we knew a lot of the same people. St. Louis is a small town at the core where everyone knows everyone.
One of the times we met, he had been telling me about a new idea for a business venture that he and his business partner had. It ended up...
Back in 2011, I took my first business class in college.
I had heard about this professor who had a really innovative way of teaching inside of the business school at Columbia
After taking that class, I ended up having quite a few classes with him and he ended up becoming my Advisor for a little while.
It was in 2012 during my junior where I took my first entrepreneurial class with him, created my first business plan and learned tha...
